About six years ago,a now retired game warden friend of mine,was out patrolling out around Dewwatto.I guess he pulled into the Port campground just in time to see a guy toss what looked like a Sea gull into his trunk.Of course he went over and asked the guy what was going on.As if there was nothing wrong the guy said he was hunting.My buddy said you could immediatly tell he wasn't from here.Also said that there was I think like 4 kids running around,none too clean or well dressed.so my buddy asked to see what he was hunting and sure enough it was the sea gulls.The guy gave the same sob story as dave, he was feeding his family,he had just moved here etc.My buddy was actually a pretty cool guy if you were honest with him,and were'nt selling gall bladders to the japs,so he let the guy know what he needed ,protected,hunting license, etc then let him go,with the sea gulls.My buddy had to ask though what a sea gull tasted like.What the guy answer,kinda a cross between bald eagle and spotted owl. I don't have a family,just my wife me and two dogs.I have seen people out snagging fish with the intention of lighting the load on the kitchen table.whatever.They are also not the ones down at the hole bragging about their fishing prowess.I was out a job once though and found myself living in my truck.Instead of living on the streets I went and lived in the woods on a secret beaver pond.I poached quite a bit in those 4-5 months.I think I stayed a alot longer because I liked it though.Broke the law,don't feel bad,will only apologize to my maker,as sincerly as I can.You I don't think that it is snagging, linning, flossing, whatever,It's the attitude that it is done with.When it is done with greed and selfrightousness then I get pissed.Now I catch you feeding your family on one of my favorite steelhead streams and you will find out why up north they call me griz
